Mr. Epting is a graduate of the University and is from Chapin, S. C. Dan A. Reed Directs Rochester Theatre Daniel A. Reed, affectionately knowni as "Danny" to his many University friends has signed a contract to con duct a "little theater" in Rochester. Mr. Reed, it will be renmemberedl conducted the Town theater from 1918 until June of this year. He was first introduced to Colunmbians while stat ioned at Camp Jackson during the World War. While there he did much work in the amateur theatricals staged in the camp and was prominent in the social fife of the cantonment. In this way he displayed his talents and the people of Columbia were quick to see the opportunities offered if Mr. Reed could be .persuaded to take charge of a theater in the city for the sole pur pose of conducting plays for the stagc society. The first Town theater was a one story frame building, located on the spot where the Town theater now stands. Mr. Reed had available the best talent in the cit'y and with this coop,eration he was successful frem the beginnIng. BARNEY EARLY . - ALUMNI SECRETARY (Coninud from Page One) school. From Darlington "Pap" went to Marion for two years, 1923-1924, where he also organized athletics ;n the school and turned out Marions best teams in her history. He is well remembered there for his always will ing and untiring spirit both on and off the athletic field. Many of Mr. Early's "bright-lights" in high school have been heard from as "stars" on our college varsity teams. A few are listed below: At the Uni versity of South Carolina: Joe Wheel er, captain of football team; Blount, Timmons, Bill Holland, capt. of base ball team; Jim Johnson, and P. J. Boatwright. Citadel: Robert Lee, capt. of football team; Robert Brunson, Ed. Jeffords, Maxwell, and Dick Brown on the present team. Furman: Coleman, capt. of football team; Hicks, McCurry, Manning, Brunson, and Studd Waters. Clemson: Tuttle. Next we find "Pap" taking up his duties at Wofford college as freshman football coach in 1925, where he men tored the best "Rat" team that Wof ford has ever had. Then during the session of 1926-27, he was appointed director of all freshman athletics at Wofford. This year he coached all freshman teams in football, basketball, and baseball. His work there during that year was so successful that it warranted the fol lowing quotation from the Spartanburg Herald: "His last year, during the ses sion of 1926-27, Mr. Early succeeded in making freshman athletics an entity in college life, such as had never before been the case. This may not generally be appreciated, but it is so, just the same. By establishing freshman ath letics on a plane of its own, Mr. Early probably did more for Wofford than any other single thing. His success did not lie in games won or lost, but in holding the interest of a group and getting results." This past spring his "Rat" baseball team at Wofford was a strong conten der for the state championship which was never played off. Carolina has in Mr. Early a very valuable man, a man who has highest ideals and one who is always willing to help each individual and the school as a whole. He is planning Home-Coming Day concerning which announcements will be made in a later issue of this paper. -UsC Euphradian Society Entertains Freshmen Hildebrand Stress.. Literary So ciety Need-Pritchard and Other. an Program Stressing the importance of the literary society in the life of a student, "Raymond "Blood" Hildebrand" wel comed the freshmen to the Euphradian literary society's opening reception. Hildebrand, in the course of his talk, declared that he would not say that the Euphradian was the better of the two societies but he did say that one or the other was necessary. His whole talk was devoted to the advantages accru ing from literary society membership. Following Hildebrand's address of welcome, Eddie Pritchard entertained those present by his humorous talk, causing much laughter and evicting much applause. Bill Brunson then spoke at length upon the same theme as did Hildebrand, the advancing of a literary society. Tom Craig, president of the student body, related the history of society, furnishing many interesting details. Burton Shook, editor-in-chief of the Gamecock, spoke also upon the need of the literary society and con cluded by offering the freshmen advice: in moulding their college career. Ice cream, cake, and cigarettes did1 much to enliven the occasion and to furnish enjoyment. The society meets again this Tuesday night and every other Tuiesday~ night, thereafter.
